Friends and Family

And there will be lots of days of clear underwater viewing of the  fishy's

The decision to move to another far a way part of the country effects more than just the two of us.. Telling friends and family about your new dream is mixed.  On the one hand you are so excited that you have a new goal and destination with in reach,, and yet,, these incredible friends and family will be missed in our daily doings,, most especially in their daily doings.  We will have new pictures to look at as they will be left with a void in having us in their familiar pictures of daily life.  I suppose over time we might find out if it is better to have a long range goal or a short term change of plans,, which is harder to deal with I wonder.  I will treasure my time with these friends and loved ones now and make the most of the trips, gatherings and games we get to play over the next few years as we also ready ourselves for the next adventure enjoying the journey from every aspect.  

I did find out that if you move close to the ocean,, friends will come.  That has been a wonderful part of living here at the coast.  We became a destination point for friends and family and have actually seen more of them than if we had stayed stagnant where we were.  Who can resist vacationing in Hawaii after all. 

Yesterday brought discussion about our next trip to Maui in the fall of 2012.  We will go there one time a year until we move.  Making vacation plans is always a fun way to spend time. 

And another box got packed with books—prices also. 

Start telling a better-feeling story about the things that are important to you. Do not write your story like a factual documentary, weighing all the pros and cons of your experience, but instead tell the uplifting, fanciful, magical story of the wonder of your own life and watch what happens. It will feel like magic as your life begins to transform right before yours eyes, but it is not by magic. It is by the power of the Laws of the Universe and your deliberate alignment with those Laws.
